Supporting creative thinking in design with computational approach
Hong Liu, Huichuan Duan, Xiyu Liu · 2005
In this paper, we present a novel computational approach for stimulating creativity of designers. The tree structured genetic algorithm is used for generating 2D sketch shapes and 3D images. This approach is illustrated by an artwork design example, which uses general mathematical expressions to form 2D sketch shapes for artistic flower vases and the combination of general and complex function expressions to form 3D images of artistic flowers. It shows that approach is able to generate some solutions for supporting creative thinking of designers.
